KOSMOSCOPE - Tim Redfern - Ireland

Kosmoscope acts as a seismic observatory, creating a spectacular audiovisual translation of the sound of the earth’s movements. Kosmoscope takes the form of a ‘box kaleidoscope’, large enough to allow small groups of people to enter the installation and be immersed in the infinite illusory space it creates. Once inside, viewers can watch live tectonic recordings, relayed by he Global Seismographic Network, a coordinated network of seismographic instruments used to monitor earthquakes.

Tim Redfern is a Dublin based artist currently finishing his PHD at Trinity College Dublin, who works primarily with technology, creating artifacts and experiences connecting people, devices and networks in novel ways. His work has been shown at many art and technology events internationally.
